An anemometer is a device used to measure wind speed and direction. It typically consists of rotating cups or blades that capture the wind's force, allowing for the calculation of wind velocity. Anemometers are commonly used in meteorology, aviation, and various engineering applications to study and monitor atmospheric conditions. There are different types of anemometers, including cup, vane, and hot-wire models, each suited for specific measurement needs.
windvane,cupanometer and ananometer
It is an instrument for finding wind direction. They are usually found on the top of church spires, or tall building. They can have various shapes, but all have an arrow which points into the wind direction. The tail of the vane may have something like, ship. or farmer with a scythe etc., to balance the vanes pointer against the wind flow. Do Not confuse with an 'Ananometer', which measures wind speed.
